After speaking with my [[#|teacher]] , we decided that it would be best for me to take on the unit of Precolonial Africa. I haven't really had time to set down and focus on what i will do but I know I will incorporate [[#|technology]] and student discussion. A lot of the times my [[#|teacher]] has her [[#|students]][[#|search]] for the knowledge themselves. So I want to take that approach and make it [[#|more]] creative such as role playing, tech tools, video creation, etc. Precolonial Africa should be a stretch for me in my knowledge and teaching. I hope to introduce the students to some web 2.0 tools as well during this unit.
Also I would like to have students become familiar with primary sources. I intend to use primary sources to help my instruction during this unit.
Brainstormed Materials
[[#|Laptops]]
Maps
Google Earth
YouTube
African story and song writing
Ancient African Literature
Lots of Posters (Digital and Paper)
Primary source [[#|documents]] from Ancient Africa.
Create a travel brochure for African Empires.
Graffiti wall (Students draw , write, and doodle on a designated wall about what they have learned through out the unit.)
